[It's the first sign anyone may have seen of Five in the past week. He's not dealing well with the loss of his sister, and the last member of his family in this world. It's only made his ever-present ongoing obsession with finding a way home worse. He may or may not respond to comments here- but his CR are more than welcome to invite themselves over and check on him~]

[ The dog is cute, but Harry's more interested in the hashtags. He ends up texting Five privately. ]

everything ok? I thought you were staying with your sister.

[forasecond]

[It's not an immediate response. He's busy reviewing one of his equations, but eventually, a couple hours later maybe he gets a very succinct response: ]

She's gone.

[nepotis]

[ Harry figures Five is probably busy with something. So he doesn't stress when it takes a while to get a text back. ]

shit. I'm sorry, man.

[forasecond]

It's not the first time.

[First, Luther.
Now, Allison.
Before that, all of them, in that barn in Texas in the 60s.
Before that, finding their bodies in the debris at the end of the Apocalypse.
How many times will he have to lose his siblings before he gets to actually rest?]

[nepotis]

[ Ugh, this sucks. Harry knows what it's like to feel alone, abandoned, whether intentionally or unintentionally. ]

do you want some company?

[forasecond]

You know where I live.

[Which is kind of like a 'yes', without actually having to say it.]

[nepotis]

[ It's close enough to a "yes" for Harry. ]

ok. it'll take me a bit to get there, but I'm omw.

should I bring anything?

[ Snacks. DVDs. Liquor? ]

[dothelokimotion]

Is your dog dying.

[forasecond]

No...?

[What?]

[dothelokimotion]

Did it make this post.

[forasecond]

I don't think she's got the thumbs for it.

[dothelokimotion]

Why make a post about a dog?

[forasecond]

Why not?

@yeet-the-force

[tinglesense]

you kept her! im glad you kept her
but whats up with the sad dog post? dogs should make you happy :(

[forasecond]

Yeah, I did.

My sister’s gone.

[tinglesense]

oh no five that really sucks
i assume you mean shes gone like the confluence thing took her back home or w/e

[forasecond]

Yeah. Same as Luther. But here I am, still stuck.

[Does this mean he's going to go full crazy professor with that pet project of his? Better believe it, bucko. Give him a few weeks or so~]

[skagzz]

im comin for my dog

Sure enough, she somehow shows up IN HIS APARTMENT while he's in the bathroom or something and is now sitting on his floor playing with said dog.

"Whose a good girl? Whose a good Enrique?"

Tina always names her dogs Enrique.

[forasecond]

She’s not yours, Tina.

Probably, the message is futile. But he sends it anyway. The guild house his sister had secured for the lot of them was nice, but who could say anything about security with a world of superheroes and villains and thieves? Five isn’t generally very concerned about someone breaking in— apparently, he should have cared just a little more.

When he walks back into the living room from the kitchen, a glass of something boozy and strong in one hand, he pauses and stares down at the younger girl in the floor, fussing with his dog. It’s kinda cute, in a weird, stalkery, BnE-y kind of way.

“Her name is Artemis,” he corrects her on his way over to the couch, where he leans back and takes a sip from his glass. “And you can’t have her.”

[demigoth]

you named your dog after the greek goddess of the hunt

but your username is latin?

[forasecond]

I don’t think a correlation needs to exist between the two.

[demigoth]

Most of the people I know use one or the other, and they don’t name pets after gods.

I think you’re the correlation.

[forasecond]

Maybe I’m just that pretentious.

[It wouldn’t be the first time someone’s called him such— and it’s far from the worst he’s been called, either.]

[demigoth]

Pretentious people don’t say they’re pretentious. They write 47 haiku about they’re not pretentious that all end with “I am just that cool”.

[ Compared to Greek gods, particularly Apollo, nobody’s pretentious. ]

[forasecond]

I’m not really a haiku kind of guy, personally.
